sl55

Hi all, Had a few requests for pics of these wheels so thought you all might like to see a few pics of the SL55 wearing her new boots. Done a lot to her in a year, full write up coming soon, but in summary: Respray New front bumper SL63 rear bumper Carbon door handles, fins. Carbon...

There's a distinctive knocking in the steering column when driving slowly over speed humps, I've not sensed this any other time, maybe it's the relatively slow speed and direct / even pressure on both front suspension that's causing this? I've tried a search here but found little info. Is this...

AMG brake calipers, discs and pads off my SL55. Calipers: Good overall condition. Functionality wise they are perfect with no sticking pistons etc. The seals are in great order and the plates at either end of the caliper have no corrosion or noticeable wear. Cosmetically they are very good...

Has anybody on here had the TCU on their SL55 or similar tuned? Am due a visit to Eurocharged to use the Dyno and wanted to know if the Eurocharged TCU Tune was worth it on the SL55. I have already had the ECU remap and SC pulley done. In two minds as am not sure whether the 5 speed auto on the...

After a nice run yesterday, I started the engine to go out for lunch & started hearing a kind of thumping noise (not too loud) from the back! Got out, opened the boot & it felt like it was coming from underneath the passenger side boot area; maybe like a loose exhaust mount!?. Anyways, just...

I'm curious if there are any aftermarket paddles that can be attached to the steering speed shifter buttons to make them work as paddle shifters??

Can anyone confirm what the bhp was on standard 2004 SL55. I have read varying figures from 476bhp to 493bhp.

Now that I have finished all the tuning and mechanical bits looking at doing some updates to the interior. Have always been a lover of Carbon Fibre so wanted to upgrade the current aluminium trim and at the same time do something with the steering wheel to match and also add gear change flipper...

Can anybody suggest where is the best place to buy new BERU TPM Sensors, I have a 2003 SL55....I think the BERU part number is RDE001?

Hi All, First time poster - looking for some advice from owners!! At Present I have an Audi A5 (sorry) and looking to change. The Mercedes' I am particularly looking at are the SL55 or the CL55 kompressor. I am keen to get a car that excites when putting foot down, rather than something...

Anyone got the front engine cover for an 06 SL55 they would be willing to part with? Specifically the badge... Mine fell to pieces, I'm reluctant to donate £110 + VAT to MB and it bugs me every time I open the bonnet!! Thanks Jeff. :)

Just arrived this morning, my newly finished interior console and door trim. Fitting will have to wait a week or two sadly, but they look great :thumb:

Whilst nosing around my engine bay the other day whilst the car was idling I noticed that the crank pulley looks to have a 'wobble'/be slightly 'out of true'. Having done a bit of 'Googling' it seems the crank pulley on the M113 engine can have an issue whereby it breaks up and the first...

Thought it was time to consolidate all the work so far. Major thanks to Acid and the MSL team. So.... The SL55 Conversion. One of those cars I think sometimes, should I do this or not... But after test driving many new cars (And owning quite a few), I decided time to take the SL55 to a new...

Hi all I am looking for a pair of front inner wheel arches for my SL55, went for a trip to Germany over the weekend and the 20's I have fitted destroyed them, I am not sure if they are the same as the SL500/350, but I very much doubt they are. Anyone know what the part numbers or price from MB...

Heya, wanted to rack your brains my 2006 sl55 has a very,very slow water leak, I mean 1 drip every few hours only in heavy rain, it drips from where the folding roof meets the top right of the windscreen seal at the far right, it's the rubber seal join, all seals are in perfect condition and I...

Hello all, wanted to say hello to the forum - I will more than likely be a regular user as I just picked up an SL55 yesterday. I have owned an E55K for a few years back in 2006, so have a bit of experience with the car, but the SL seems to bring with it a whole host of potential issues of...

When I switch the car off & get out, I can hear a hissing noise coming from behind the passenger side front wheel. It sounds like air leaking from a tyre but it isn't the tyre & it stops after a while. I also have a buzzing noise coming from the driver's side engine bay (I think) when I open...
